Well I’m about to get sickFrom watchin’ my TVBeen checkin’ out the newsUntil my eyeballs fail to seeI mean to say that every dayIs just another rotten messAnd when it’s gonna change, my friendIs anybody’s guess

So I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’Hopin’ for the bestEven think I’ll go to prayin’Every time I hear ’em sayin’That there’s no way to delayThat trouble comin’ every dayNo way to delayThat trouble comin’ every day

Wednesday I watched the riot . . .Seen the cops out on the streetWatched ’em throwin’ rocks and stuffAnd chokin’ in the heatListened to reportsAbout the whisky passin’ ’roundSeen the smoke and fireAnd the market burnin’ downWatched while everybodyOn his street would take a turnTo stomp and smash and bash and crashAnd slash and bust and burn

And I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’Hopin’ for the bestEven think I’ll go to prayin’Every time I hear ’em sayin’That there’s no way to delayThat trouble comin’ every dayNo way to delayThat trouble comin’ every day

Well, you can cool it,You can heat it . . .‘Cause, baby, I don’t need it . . .Take your TV tube and eat it‘N all that phony stuff on sports‘N all the unconfirmed reportsYou know I watched that rotten boxUntil my head begin to hurtFrom checkin’ out the wayThe newsman say they get the dirtBefore the guys on channel so-and-so

And further they assertThat any show they’ll interruptTo bring you news if it comes upThey say that if the place blows upThey will be the first to tell,Because the boys they got downtownAre workin’ hard and doin’ swell,And if anybody gets the newsBefore it hits the street,They say that no one blabs it fasterTheir coverage can’t be beat

And if another woman driverGets machine-gunned from her seatThey’ll send some joker with a brownieAnd you’ll see it all complete

So I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’Hopin’ for the bestEven think I’ll go to prayin’Every time I hear ’em sayin’That there’s no way to delayThat trouble comin’ every dayNo way to delayThat trouble comin’ every day

Hey, you know something people?I’m not blackBut there’s a whole lots a timesI wish I could say I’m not white

Well, I seen the fires burnin’And the local people turnin’On the merchants and the shopsWho used to sell their brooms and mopsAnd every other household itemWatched the mob just turn and bite ’emAnd they say it served ’em rightBecause a few of them are white,And it’s the same across the nationBlack and white discriminationYellin’ «You can’t understand me!»‘N all that other jazz they hand meIn the papers and TV andAll that mass stupidityThat seems to grow more every dayEach time you hear some nitwit sayHe wants to go and do you inBecause the color of your skinJust don’t appeal to him(No matter if it’s black or white)Because he’s out for blood tonight

You know we got to sit around at homeAnd watch this thing beginBut I bet there won’t be many liveTo see it really end‘Cause the fire in the streetAin’t like the fire in the heartAnd in the eyes of all these peopleDon’t you know that this could startOn any street in any townIn any state if any clownDecides that now’s the time to fightFor some ideal he thinks is rightAnd if a million more agreeThere ain’t no Great SocietyAs it applies to you and meOur country isn’t freeAnd the law refuses to seeIf all that you can ever beIs just a lousy janitorUnless your uncle owns a storeYou know that five in every fourJust won’t amount to nothin’ moreGonna watch the rats go across the floorAnd make up songs about being poor
